16 For then you would (A)number my steps;
    you would not keep (B)watch over my sin;
17 my transgression would be (C)sealed up in a bag,
    and you would cover over my iniquity.

18 “But the mountain falls and (D)crumbles away,
    and (E)the rock is removed from its place;
19 the waters wear away the stones;
    the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
    so you destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes;
    you change his countenance, and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and he (F)does not know it;
    they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
22 He feels only the pain of his own body,
    and he mourns only for himself.”
